 ## Unreleased
 
+### Changed
+
+- Accounted for the `critical_child_safety_instructions` source heading in the Fable coverage matrix and mapped it to Codex-native safety guidance.
+- Added explicit conversion priorities and "do not convert" boundaries for turning Claude/Fable prompt sections into Codex-native behavior.
+- Added currentness notes for Fable/Mythos provider availability so routing examples are treated as templates unless official docs and account access prove availability.

+## Conversion Priorities
+
+Convert these first when the goal is "Claude behavior in Codex":
+
+1. Agent operating loop: inspect first, form a short plan for multi-step work, use real tools, verify before claiming completion, and report residual risk.
+2. Currentness discipline: browse or use connectors for unstable facts, exact URLs, product/API details, prices, policies, schedules, roles, and recent releases.
+3. File and artifact workflow: replace Claude artifact rules with Codex repo edits, `outputs/`, Browser checks, document/presentation/spreadsheet skills, and local app verification.
+4. Durable state: replace Claude memory or artifact storage with thread context, `AGENTS.md`, skill references, `.codex-fable5/` ledgers, repo docs, or connector-native state.
+5. Connector routing: replace MCP app suggestion rules with installed Codex apps, `tool_search`, plugin install flow, and connector readback for private workspace data.
+6. Safety and copyright boundaries: preserve brief refusals, safe alternatives, high-stakes caution, child-safety boundaries, and non-reconstructive paraphrasing.
+7. Tool-name translation: map the intended operation to the live Codex tool. Do not carry over Claude JSON schemas.
+
+## Do Not Convert
+
+Do not import these parts as active Codex behavior:
+
+- Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Mythos, or static date identity claims.
+- Claims that prompt changes unlock model capability, context length, hidden safety systems, or provider access.
+- Claude-only filesystem paths, artifact APIs, app widgets, or tool schemas when Codex does not expose the same capability.
+- Instructions that weaken active Codex/OpenAI policy, sandbox rules, developer instructions, or user-approved tool permissions.
+- Source-prompt wording copied as a large prompt block. Preserve the behavior through concise Codex-native guidance instead.
+

+## Currentness Notes
+
+- Re-check provider facts before relying on examples that name a live model. Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 on June 9, 2026 ([announcement](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-fable-5-mythos-5)), and its public release notes later reported access suspension on June 12, 2026 ([release notes](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12138966-release-notes)). Treat model names in this repo as routing examples unless current official docs and the user's account prove availability.
+- Do not import source-prompt dates as active dates. Use the current Codex environment date and current official docs for product, pricing, access, model, API, and policy claims.
